Hi, Jean
>I have an VFP8 Exe that Calls an VFP8 APP that display a Menu with command buttons on Sidebar form. Some of those command buttons call other APPs that has FOX2X forms, VFP7 Forms,etc.

I think this should be a portability problem with FOX2X forms. It was a very long time since I used FPW, and never even tried to port an app without rewriting.

I'm not sure you'll have an easy way to fix this. I'd recommend that you leave it as is and start (maybe slowly) rewiting these forms in VFP.

Sorry for not being able to help much more than that.

>Also, When I set Magenta Color for a Shape bacground on the sidebarform, the color change to medium Gray under Citrix Client only but not from VFP8

This may be due to the Citrix Client set to a lower color resolution than your normal video card. To avoid this kind of color problems, try to use "pure" colors (the ones shown in the 16 or 256 color pallet) instead of picking more special other ones. You can also raise the number of colors your Citrix Client will display (depending on the version you're running), but working with more colors can slow Citrix down. It is better to keep this as low as possible.

Also, take a look at the following recommendations. They are presented for Terminal Services, but the same applies to Citrix:
